Certification guide
What is ICP?
ICP is the ICAgile Certified Professional, the foundational ICAgile certification in agile fundamentals. It covers the agile mindset and values, why iterative delivery works, and the shared vocabulary of frameworks such as Scrum, Kanban and Lean, without tying you to any one of them.
Who is ICP for?
Anyone starting out with agile ways of working: new team members, managers whose teams are adopting agile, and career changers who want the recognised entry credential.
How do you earn the ICP certification?
You earn ICP by completing an accredited 14 hour live course with an ICAgile member organisation such as Agile Visa. There is no exam: ICAgile certifications are assessment-based, earned through participation in the exercises and activities of the class. The credential is lifetime and never needs renewal.
Does ICP expire?
No. Like every ICAgile certification, ICP is a lifetime credential with no renewal fees or continuing education requirements.
How much does ICP cost?
With Agile Visa the ICP course is US$699 as a live global cohort, with regional pricing shown at checkout.
Is ICP worth it?
For the right role, yes. ICP certifies Agile Fundamentals competency through assessed live practice rather than an exam, it is internationally recognised through ICAgile, and it is a lifetime credential, so the fee is paid once and never again. It is worth least if you only want a badge: the value comes from the capability the live course builds. The "who it is for" section above is the honest test.
Where it sits in the ICAgile tracks
ICP is the starting point of the ICAgile certification system and the common prerequisite mindset for every track that follows.
